It was early Saturday morning, and Steve lay there listening to the dawn chorus. The only thing louder was his heart beating in his chest and the gentle, reassuring breathing of his partner sleeping beside him. With his fortieth birthday fast approaching, he had decided that today was going to be the day.
As he lay there, Steve took a moment to reminisce…
He had married young to his childhood sweetheart, Helen. They had two children by their mid-twenties, and then came the divorce. His wife understood; there was no messy courtroom battle, just a love that even lingered a little today.
Helen remarried. She was happy, and luckily for Steve, her new man, James, a policeman, also understood. So they had remained close and knew about today—the big day. As for their now grown-up children, they had come to accept their father and his sexuality.
Steve knew he was lucky to have the support of his family.
He had waited until he was twenty-eight to come out to the world that he was gay, and a year later, he met the love of his life, Geoffrey. He was in business, owning several hairdressing salons, and was just two years his senior. They had been together for nine years and married for six of them.
Steve turned to his left and snuggled into his sleeping partner, feeling the warmth emanating from his toned and hairy body. For comfort, he wrapped his arm around him, remembering how they had met in a hotel bar.
That night, when Steve glanced across that crowded room and first saw Geoffrey, he assumed that he must be straight. He thought that no man so tall, dark, and handsome could be gay. His chiselled jaw clinched it for him that he must be heterosexual. However, Steve could not keep his eyes off him. Geoffrey must have noticed, as he chose to sit with him, and then a beautiful thing happened.
With Steve still believing that the gorgeous man he had been chatting to all evening was straight, Geoffrey made a brash approach. He placed his hand on Steve’s knee and asked him to come up to his room “for a coffee.”
That was a moment ingrained in Steve’s heart. Along with the sex that followed, it led them to become a couple and, five years later, to marry. However, despite feeling loved, there had been one thing missing in Steve’s existence, and it was something that had increasingly crept into his demeanour.
Steve wanted to live his everyday life as a woman.
This desire was something Steve and his husband frequently talked about. Geoffrey did not want Steve to change too much, as he loved his male partner for who he was, having accepted his cross-dressing, feminine mannerisms, and shapely womanly legs.
For Geoffrey, Steve’s beauty came from within, his love, his humour and his ability to say the right thing in his moment of need.
He was simply excellent company.
After several years of discussions, they agreed that Steve would live his life as a transgender woman. However, there was one condition, and that was that Steve would not have his penis surgically removed, as Geoffrey considered it an important part of Steve’s attraction.
With light now streaming around the curtains and into the bedroom, Geoffrey stirred, and his body turned towards his partner. As his eyes opened, they tentatively adjusted to the brightness, and he asked, “What time is it?”
“Six,” Steve replied as he leaned across, his long brunette hair falling across Geoffrey’s face, and kissed the older man. As they broke apart, their lips curled upwards into a loving, knowing smile.
“Your big day,” Geoffrey softly stated, bringing a smile from his partner, his soon-to-be wife.
Having a female-looking wife was a strange concept for the slightly older man, as, despite his masculine appearance, he had never been sexual with a woman. His sexual history was one of homosexuality, having come out as being gay at the age of sixteen.
“Yes, it’s my big day, although I suddenly feel nervous,” Steve relented, his voice trailing off. “Though, I guess that is to be expected, after thirty-nine years of being Steve and living as a man,” he added, a little more excitedly.
"Have you chosen your female name? You were still unsure last night."
“I think so… But it just feels so personal.”
“Steve, it is personal.”
With those words, Geoffrey rolled on top of his partner, leaning down to kiss him once again. As he did so, he felt a creeping arousal in his loins, and he touched Steve's newly paid-for breasts. Cute B-cups, he had been told. He was still trying to get used to them, but they were not the only physical feature that had recently changed with his partner.
With Geoffrey’s full blessing, they had paid out to have all of Steve’s body hair permanently removed. Yes, it was expensive, but now, except for the long brunette locks that currently grew from his head, the younger man’s body was completely smooth.
“So Steve, what name did you choose?”
"Stephanie,” Steve softly replied. There was a hint of emotion in his voice.
With a reassuring smile, Geoffrey asked, “Tonight, will you still allow me to do this?”
The older man's large cock was erect as he took hold of the younger man’s equally aroused penis and then began to slowly masturbate him.
“I will still be the same person,” Steve softly groaned, now wondering, despite their endless discussions, if their relationship might change. And yet, he was enjoying the older man’s touch, needing this moment.
“Steve, I know you will be the same person,” Geoffrey reassuringly stated, noticing the worried look in his partner’s eye and the rise of his trepidation.
He leaned down to kiss the younger man, to comfort him, and above all, to send his love. Although Geoffrey also realised this ‘adjustment’ was going to be challenging for him too, as his love for Steve had been born out of him being another man.
“I promise the next time I fuck you that I will try my best to call you Stephanie.”
Steve smiled and relaxed as his partner took his bald cock into his warm mouth, swirling his tongue, which not only excited him but also made him realise that nothing had to change between him and Geoffrey.
Then, with real affection, the older man kissed the tip of Steve’s cock before moving upwards and kissing each of the nipples that crested his two newly formed breasts.
“I will get used to these,” the older man muttered, before kissing Steve once again.
With a smile, the younger man whispered, “Thank you,” and then reached for Geoffrey’s large, engorged cock, precum already leaking from its tip.
It was with renewed energy and a love for his partner that he kissed Geoffrey’s cock and then took him into his experienced mouth, sucking him, working his dick with his tongue, and occasionally teasing the older man until he was groaning, almost whimpering, wanting to cum.
But they both knew that their early morning sex wasn’t going to end with a blowjob. The years together and the love for Steve that Geoffrey had had him submitting to his cock. Now lubed, the older man pushed his dick’s bulbous gland into Steve’s equally lubed and slightly stretched sphincter.
With the younger man’s legs resting high on Geoffrey’s shoulders, their eyes locked on each other’s as, inch by inch, his cock eased into Steve’s arse. All the way in, eight inches of pure lust and desire, and then with slow rhythmic strokes, Geoffrey started to fuck his partner, his soon-to-be wife.
They fucked and grunted, Steve’s cock now as stiff as Geoffrey’s. The hairy man was taking his pleasure, first by being on top and then by thrusting into the younger man from behind.
As they fucked, Steve’s hard cock dripped cum, his excitement born from the desire to be anally taken by an older man, the love of his life – his husband.
Then, with a mutual grunt, they both started to cum.
Steve was now fervently wanking his cock, his seed exploding over the bedcovers. While Geoffrey pumped his semen deep into his lover's bowels, and as he did so, he realised the next time he emptied his load, it would not be into Steve but into Stephanie, his soon-to-be transgender wife.
Later that morning, the two men looked inside Steve’s large wooden wardrobe, where his clothes were unusually arranged by gender. On the left, there were women's clothes, all neatly organised. The middle section was the biggest, and it was full of unisex garments. However, it was the men’s outfits on the right that they were there for.
“Are you sure?” Geoffrey questioned, turning to Steve.
“Yes, positive.”
“And what about what you are dressed in?”
Steve looked down at the jeans that he was wearing and said, “These are unisex, like my tee-shirt. As for my pants, shoes, and socks, I will address them individually in the coming weeks. Today, I just want to burn my more obvious male clothes.”

“You would rather not give them to charity,” Geoffrey thoughtfully suggested.
“Not today… For me, this moment is a new beginning, and with that, I need to cleanse my past.”
Steve and Geoffrey spent the next ten minutes checking through the garments, and then, together, took a pile of clothes down to their garden incinerator. There, they threw each of the thirty-nine items into the flames, one at a time, each item representing a year of Steve living as a man.
Almost as if they were sitting by a coal fire on a cold winter’s day, they watched the flickering flames, and, like at a funeral, not a word was spoken until there was nothing but ashes left. They represented the embers of Steve’s male past.
Without grace, they dug a hole in the ground and then took the ashes and buried them. With agreement, each man took turns to cover them with earth. With each shovelful of soil, Steve was literally burying his male past.
With that first task of the day completed, the married couple went for a shower together. This was not just to wash the smell of the smoke away but also, for Steve, an act of cleansing his past. The water from the rain showerhead soon engulfed the couple as, with his insistence and love, Geoffrey lathered up his partner’s body.
Working up from Steve’s feet, Geoffrey washed every inch of his soon-to-be wife’s hair-free body, only pausing when he reached Steve’s head and his long brunette hair, where he whispered into his lover’s ear… “Let me style your hair, Stephanie.”
It was the first time he had called Steve, Stephanie… It produced the desired effect as the younger man turned and lovingly kissed his husband. Their cocks were now aroused and stabbing each other. As the water cascaded down, the men continued to kiss as their dicks were frotting. They were deliberately rubbing them together, with the creamy soap acting as a lubricant as they gave each other pleasure.
To both of them, Steve was now Stephanie.
As the water washed their bodies, their deep, loving kisses and gentle caresses brought the release they were seeking as they came together; the shower spray soon washed the evidence of their climax away.
Having dried themselves, still naked, Steve sat there at the dressing table as Geoffrey used a hairdryer. The hot air and the older man’s hairdressing skills soon turned Stephanie’s long brunette locks into a work of art. His younger partner was now visibly turning into his wife.
With Stephanie’s hair now professionally done, it was time for her makeup. Geoffrey offered to help apply it.
“Have you helped do the make-up for someone before?” Stephanie asked, wondering.
“Only my sister,” Geoffrey replied.
“How long ago was that?”
“Err… thirty-three… Okay, you'd best do your makeup yourself. I will go and get changed for Helen and James’ arrival… Give me a call when you are ready to get dressed, as I would like to watch you put your clothes on.”
“I will, dear,” Stephanie replied, now sounding like a wife.
Now dressed in his best suit, it was twenty minutes later when Geoffrey received a call from Stephanie. When he walked into Steve’s, now Stephanie’s dressing room, he stopped in amazement. His partner of ten years really did look like a woman, although his nakedness told a different story.
“Geoffrey… Do I look beautiful?”
“You’re looking fabulous, darling,” Geoffrey chuckled in reply, making him sound a little camp, although he did sometimes use the same phrase with some of his older lady clients. He then nervously added what he was thinking… “Err… Stephanie, it’s going to take me some time to get used to your new name, your new look.”
Stephanie understood her husband’s uncertainty. She smiled and then softly replied, “We will work through the transition together; I know it's new for both of us.” Then, finding her voice, she more firmly stated, “I thought you wanted to see me putting on my new clothes.”
Geoffrey had seen Steve dressed in women’s clothes many times before, but this felt different. This wasn’t just one casual night. This was a new way of life, and he wanted to be there for his partner, his wife.
Without further ado, Stephanie rolled a black, ten-denier stocking up her smooth right leg. She was trying to tease her husband, although Geoffrey remained a little unsure as he looked on. She then rolled on the second stocking and then clipped it to her suspender belt, which was already around her waist.
Out of her top drawer, she took a black lace bikini panty set and clipped the bra in place, pushing her small breasts together. Then, with a smile, she pulled the black panties in place, covering her semi-erect cock.
Lastly, she stepped into a little black dress, Geoffrey zipping her up.
Once done, the older man remarked, “I guess you're now going to take longer getting ready when we're going out.”
The observation from Geoffrey broke the tension, bringing a giggle from Stephanie. She thought back to when she used to be married to Helen and chuckled, “It may be an old joke, Geoffrey, but you are probably right.
“Now come here and kiss me.”
Geoffrey hesitated and then admitted that he had never romantically kissed a girl before!
Stephanie giggled at her husband's small revelation. But then corrected him by gently stating, “For someone who has had sex with me twice today, you should know that I’m not a girl, but I am your wife, so kiss me.”
Stephanie felt empowered as Geoffrey kissed her with all his love and affection, the kiss being only broken by the sound of the front doorbell.
“I'd better go, as I expect that it’s your ex-wife and her husband,” Geoffrey announced. “If you wait here, we can enter the front room together.”
“Thank you,” Stephanie replied, grateful for her husband’s support.
With Helen and James waiting for them, Stephanie took Geoffrey’s arm as he carefully guided her to their waiting guests.
Today, Steve may have passed into history, but a beautiful transgender lady was born. The clapping hands from their two guests gave all the support Stephanie needed, but also reassurance to Geoffrey. After all, he had never been in a relationship with another man who wanted to live their life as a woman.
A little later, Geoffrey tapped his champagne flute with a teaspoon to get everyone’s attention; it made the other three people look at him, wondering what was going on.
Geoffrey announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, may I just have your attention for one minute?
“Let’s charge our glasses.”
Geoffrey’s audience did as requested.
“A toast… To Stephanie, and I guess, now officially, my wife.”
“To Stephanie," they said together, while lifting their glasses, the toast causing Stephanie to blush.
“I also have one other small announcement.”
“Well, you can’t get married again,” James injected, chuckling.
Geoffrey smiled. “Actually, this is something my wife doesn’t know about.” He turned towards Stephanie. “I have decided to change my name too–”
“What, to Georgia?” James blurted, now laughing, and earning a hard nudge from his wife.
“Go on, Geoffrey,” Helen encouraged, thinking it must be important, her husband now massaging his arm.
“As I was saying, I have decided to change my name too." Geoffrey paused, waiting for someone to press him. Though James had decided it was better for his health to stay quiet.
“Go on,” Stephanie finally stated when it became clear no one else was going to say anything.
“Now that I have a transgender wife, I’m going to change my name from Geoffrey to Geoff.”
A collective groan went around the room, although Geoff found it funny.
It was not long after that Helen and James said their goodbyes. Helen pecked her former husband on the lips and wished him good luck with his new adventure, and then admitted that she, too, would take some time to adjust to his new name and look.
That left James to say goodbye. Being a policeman, he was perhaps the least sybaritic of the group, but since he married Helen, he had fitted right into the extended family.
“I’m not going to kiss you, Stephanie,” James suggested, as, with a giggle, Stephanie puckered her lips. “But I will shake your hand and remind you, in what might be a difficult adjustment period, to always remember… that beauty comes from within.”
The End… and, of course, also a new beginning.
